Thanks Arnd for the report. I don't quite agree with the proposal, this 
should be similar to HDAC_HDMI which is not selected by default, and 
there's no reason to force the support for HDAudio when the vast 
majority of Skylake+ devices which enable this driver don't have any 
HDaudio codec.

Also the code is skl.c is already conditional, so this function should 
not be required.

Do you have a config that fails, I'd like to look at this further.
